sinonsense

If we make longer sentences and stiffer penalties for financial fraud, who will run the city and state governments? Who will run congress?? Who will run the banks and investment firms??Who will run insurance companies??

$200,000 bond?? I guess this guy has money and is seen as a flight risk... Thats not a typical bond..

Dear Rikic family,
Im glad that your daughter is ok, I can't even imagine how scary it must have been for you to not know where she was.
However, I hope you now take this opportunity to ensure that she learns a lesson from this.
That she realizes how irresponsible her actions were, and the potential danger that she put herself in.
I hope she realizes the amount of money and time was spent on trying to find her by the police, and all the volunteers who were searching for her.
With that said, she now needs to do community service to pay back the people who gave up their weekend in looking for her, who sweated through 90 plus degree weather with 85% humidity for your family, due to her actions. She is not a child at 12yrs old. At the very least she should go around and remove each and every flyer put up or still lying in the ground throughout her neighborhood and those around your house. As there are hundreds of them on trees and poles.

So it seems like the only thing to do is bring people to deninos and Ralph's....

Personally I've never brought any friends or families who come in from other states or countries anywhere on staten island...There's really nothing here...that's the truth..
I bring them to the city, plenty to do there..
Bring. Them to the jersey shore beaches....gas up there cause of ou gas up in NY you're out of your mind..
I've taken them upstate to do some outdoors stuff...

To all the parents that comment here about how bad this is lets refresh our old memories:
Allison pond keg parties for st peters boys and girls...
Getting chased through st peters cemetery by the cops, for our Friday night after teen-night at the Y..
Hooking up with the girls from Villa on the beach after the teen nights..
Smoking weed in silver lake, getting drunk and hooking up with girls from Norte dame..
Bar hopping with fake ids, on forest ave..
Smoking up in sacred hearts parking lot till we woke the nuns up and they called the cops..
And that was just from us catholic school kids.....

Partying with the other school guys and gals, $5 bucks per person to pay for the kegs..
Having your parents pay for this type of entertainment to send you to a stricter catholic school....PRICELESS...

It was a party, nobody was shot or killed...the cops should be spending more time around the bar brawls , shootings and stabbing at the adult-party's...these kids were just having a good time..

Now if I was that kids parents I'd kick the living daylights out of him just like my parents did..
But in today's world, the same cops that arrested those kids would be arresting the parents for smacking around their kid.....

Hmmm lets see:
Put a company in that will pay top dollar attract tens of thousands of visitor, is the number 1 company in the world right now, will pay all their taxes, and their rent and will be around for a long time....

Sounds like the MTA bosses should be fired, how dare they finally make a sound business decision with one of their properties...

The guy had a vest and a gun in his jacket, he didn't have it in his hand, had they grabbed him right away and held him for the police, he would have been easily disarmed. But instead they let him go and told him he couldn't go in, he walked 20ft turned around pulled out his gun and shot at them. Unfortunately the girl was standing in the middle and she got shot in the head.
Its unfortunate and tragic, but they had not 1 bouncer but several, they could have held him, called 911.
It doesn't matter now, its too late however, when they patted him down, he wasn't holding the gun in his hand...

So the Nypd should be held accountable for what his guy did? NO!!!
The people that should be held accountable are the security company they patted I'm down he had guns and a vest they should have immediately grabbed him and call the police.... But they let I'm go

The bar is done, so the only people left to try and collect money from is the Taxpayer...

It was tragic, but the fact is that a responsible person who goes to hang out at a bar, at 2am in a lousy neighborhood is risking their life, whether he cops are around or not.

Boy are the republicans that desperate.... Christie...
Lets see the Education system in Jersey is atrocious to say the least..
The taxes are out of control..
The misspending in New Jersey make New York look like a well run machine...
None of the last 3 governors have been able to address these issues.
Christie hasn't done anything.. But then again that would probably be the ideal candidate for President..

Pass a law to create a joint multi state regulatory agency to oversee the Port Authority, above the board.

Both Governors have the power to order the PA to answer questions and if not, they can remove the members of the board that they themselves appoint.. Cause its all about friendly-political appointees...

Really, after COUMO ripped the state unions and gave them garbage for raises, cause the state and city employees can't strike or be locked out..... He gets in them middle of a private company's labor disputes.. ??

Lets see how good he is with the city unions when bloomberg tries and give city workers nothing during his last 1yr 1/2 of his self purchased extended term...

After all the city unions voted for COUMO and they will probably vote him out after what he did with the pensions..

wait I don't get this... They picked up garbage that others left out then sold it, and they got arrested???

Whats different than the people that walk around and go through my recycling container for soda cans and bottles and then redeem them, or the guy who drives around with his pickup, gets my old dresser that I put out for garbage, refinishes it and then sells it..???????

This is what cops are doing?? Shouldn't they be out there, looking for criminals with the ever increasing crime rate, that we are overly concerned with guys who were picking up cardboard????

People should have the right to end their own lives, in a peaceful, manner. if they did they wouldn't resort to things like this. The government should be the only one who reserve the right to end your life...

Its a good thing that all that dredging will be done in a hurry, this way it can allow those big container ships to go on to Port Newark where most carriers will go as they close Holland Hook again when the remaining shipping companies leave cause of the high tolls on staten island..

They should give a copy of the 2nd amendment to those poor families... and explain to them why the "right to bear arms" has become something that was probably never meant to be what it has become.. The right for every nut-job to have a gun, in case some day he wants to kill someone easily.
